DropBio^®DHA(DIHYDROXYACETONE) is a simple three carbon sugar which is derived from plant sources such as sugar beets and sugar cane by the fermentation of glycerin.

DropBio^®DHA(DIHYDROXYACETONE) is used as an ingredient in self-tanning cosmetic products on the EU market since the 1960’s. (eg A rapid and indicative survey by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (VWA) revealed that there is a widespread use of DHA in self-tanning cosmetic products on the Dutch market)

DropBio^®DHA(DIHYDROXYACETONE) does not damage the skin, and is considered a safe skin coloring agent. The color is not removed by simple washing, swimming, or natural perspiration, but it only lasts for 5 to 7 days, as skin cells are continuously being shed. Exfoliation, tape stripping, prolonged water submersion, or heavy sweating can lighten the tan, as these all contribute to rapid dead skin cell pealing.

Today, DropBio^®DHA(DIHYDROXYACETONE) is the main active ingredient in virtually all sunless tanning skincare preparations.
